SharePoint Server 2007 Content Management

Content Management

One of the challenges of producing and keeping web content up to date is providing easy to use tools to enter and edit this content. Office SharePoint Server 2007 has integrated Web content management allowing organizations to empower their business users to manage their own web content.

Some of the features included are:

  • Support for high-fidelity Web sites with consistent branding
  • Navigation controls that automatically render site navigation links
  • Browser-based Web authoring with a WYSIWYG Web content editor
  • Content publishing and deployment with workflows
  • Publishing site templates
  • Multilingual site support



MOSS Web Content management has the following features:


In-context web page authoring Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes an HTMl editor that allows you to type and edit a page using a Web browser. You get a WYSIWYG experience so you can easily format text, check spelling and create tables. You also have the ability to manage and edit boilerplate content such as copyright statements, in a single location.

Template-based Web pages Web publishing pages are based on page templates that can be edited using SharePoint Designer 2007, this defines where and how an author can edit content on a page. The content is stored separately to the design layout allowing updates to the design to happen independently of the content.

Smart-client authoring This feature allows you to create web content by converting from Office client applications such as Word or Infopath documents. This allows for rapid content publishing, for example a Press Release could be authored in Word, saved to a document library within SharePoint and by choosing the Publish option on its context menu converted into a web page using a selected page layout.
